Is it okay for petite people? Tips for choosing a walking stick that suits your height
"I'm short, are there any walking sticks that would suit me?"
We often receive inquiries like this. Especially for petite women, elderly people, and those looking for a walking stick on behalf of a family member, there may be some anxiety that the size will not fit.
But don't worry, today's walking sticks are designed to fit a wide range of body types and usages. This article will show you how to choose a walking stick that will fit you perfectly, even if you're short.
Telescoping walking sticks accommodate most heights
The first thing I would recommend is an extendable walking stick.
This type of walking stick has the advantage that its height can be freely adjusted in several stages. Even people under 150cm tall can adjust it to a height that allows them to hold it with proper posture.
When purchasing, we can provide advice on the adjustment position based on the user's height. Please feel free to ask our staff for advice.
Folding walking sticks can also be adjusted
Folding walking sticks are easy to carry and are suitable for smaller people.
They are often made a little longer than standard, but by cutting the bottom, you can adjust the length to suit the individual.
However, the folded size may change slightly after cutting, so if portability is important to you, it's a good idea to check beforehand.
Please contact us for size adjustments
A walking stick that is neither too long nor too short is a no-no, as it can cause poor posture and put strain on your arms and shoulders.
If the customer is able to come to the store in person, it would be ideal for them to actually hold the chair and adjust it to the optimal height on the spot.
If a family member or a representative visits the store, we can provide a guideline if we know the customer's height. We also offer haircuts and adjustments in-store.
A perfect fit even for petite people
A walking stick is an important partner that brings peace of mind to your daily life and expands the range of your activities.
Even petite people can walk more comfortably and safely by choosing a size, weight, and grip that suits their body.
If you are unsure which walking stick to choose, please consult with a KINDCARE staff member. We will suggest a walking stick that suits your physique and lifestyle.
